An army of Indavers waged the subjugation of Crotus led by Karo Eriedrone, with ground forces harassing civilians as Moaiders assaulted cities and traffic. They were opposed by the Kyuranger trio of Oushi Black, Chameleon Green and Kajiki Yellow, who safeguarded the civilians only to find the way back to their Voyagers blocked by a horde of Indavers. As luck would have it, Lucky's space vehicle, having been sent off course by a Shishi System meteor shower, ran down the Indavers as it crashed, clearing a path for the Kyurangers to get to safety.
Soon after, on Jagjag, a vast horde of Indavers and Tsuyoindavers led by Karo Eriedrone dropped down to eliminate the Kyurangers. The tide, however, was turned when Lucky accessed the Shishi Kyutama to become Shishi Red, bringing with him a meteor shower from the Shishi System, followed by Garu transforming into Ookami Blue.

A further Tsuyoindaver duo and Indaver guard were fought off by the Kyurangers when they threatened a number of dissidents including young brothers Kotaro and Jiro Sakuma.

Indavers were used exstensively by Cepheus System Karo Desgon to hinder the Kyuranger team of Ryu Commander, Houou Soldier, Ookami Blue, Hebitsukai Silver, Chameleon Green, and Washi Pink, from acquiring the Cepheus' Kyu Energy in specially designed trials at the Kyulin Temple on planet Achoruk.
- In the 1st trial, Hellish "Indaver" Chamber, an army of 99 Indavers were sent against the Kyurangers, who had to defeat them all in one minute. The force was successfully terminated in time, with 30 being slain by Houou Soldier, 16 by Ookami Blue, 13 by Hebitsukai Silver, 10 by Chameleon Green and Washi Pink each, and 5 by a relaxed Ryu Commander.
- In the 3rd trial, Kitchen Chamber, Garu and Hammie had to cook a dish for a pair of white Indavers, whom they successfully more than satisfied with a Sushi recipe, provided by Spada, consisting of a fish created by the Uo Kyutama with sesame seeds, cucumber, and dried gourd.
- In the 4th trial, Game Chamber, Naga and Shou faced a single green Indaver in a game of Red Light, Green Light, which Naga quickly cleared by temporarily paralyzing Shou with his stare.
- In the 7th trial, Funny Face Chamber, Naga and Garu faced a blue Indaver and green Indaver in a duel of facial expressions. Though Garu was amused by his counterpart's Inda face, Naga cleared the chamber by amusing all parties with his own range of expressions.
- In the 9th and final trial, the Infighting Chamber, Tsurugi and Shou were faced by what appeared to be their Kyuranger teammates, whose bodies were being controlled by Desgon to fight them; in reality, the quartet had been sealed in his Desdisks while Indavers of matching colors posed as them. However, Shou saw through the ruse when "Hammie" and "Garu" uncharacteristically refered to him as "Commander Shou", and confirmed it by faking a pathetic plea for his life in exchange for Tsurugi's which "Raptor" responded to with sympathy instead of anger, while with the remaining "Naga" he just relied on intuition. Swiftly taking down the fake Kyurangers with his Ryutsueder, Shou freed their real counterparts by shooting the Desdisks out of Desgon's grasp.
With his trials beaten, Desgon sent a final pack of six Indavers, two for each core color, against the six Kyurangers. Through Kyutamas provided by Shou, the Indavers were defeated by a strategic use of Tsuru by Washi Pink, Yamaneko by Chameleon Green, Mizuhebi by Hebitsukai Silver, and Ooinu & Koinu by Ookami Blue.

Saber + Zenkaiger: Superhero Senki[]
Numerous Indavers would be recreated by Asmodeus himself in order to serve as part of his army. They were first seen supporting their superior in the army itself, Rider World, in fighting against Kamen Rider Saber, Zenkai Juran, Deka Master, Shinken Green, Kiramai Blue, Ryu Commander, Washi Pink and Kamen Rider Zero-One when they were dragged into a twisted version of Nanso Satomi Hakkenden.
Later on, they would be seen as part of a large gathering of recreated villains and monsters that Asmodeus himself had created as part of his trap against the heroes themselves that would serve to erase them all out of existence. However, thanks to Touma Kamiyama managing to help Shotaro Ishinomori regain his passion for drawing out superheroes, all of the Kamen Riders and all of the Super Sentai teams had been restored back into existence who had, in turn, wiped out the entire army itself. TV STORY-Saber + Zenkaiger: Superhero Senki
Personality[]
They tended to say "Gyoi! Gyoi!" or "Dabe! Dabe!". However they can actually speak the human tongue as the masks prohibit them from talking.
Characteristics[]
Typically, Indavers wear black suits in accents of either blue (such as "Dave Blue"), green (such as "Dave Yellow") or white (such as "Dave Black"), the denotation of which remains unknown; a fourth type with purple accents (such as Dave Commander), evidently a higher rank, is seen after Scorpio's introduction. Uniquely, the Inda known as "Dave Red" wears a red tracksuit with white accents.
